## About

The festivals scene in Des Moines is having a moment, and locals know it. Right now it feels like every pocket of the city has its own thing going on, from culture-heavy gatherings to wildly specific niche parties. People are not just scrolling past, either, with tens of thousands showing interest in festivals events in Des Moines, which tells you this is where the city is actually hanging out.

If you love digging through the past, Junk Jubilee is usually the first name that comes up. Think serious vintage hunters, upcyclers, and decor obsessives filling the Iowa State Fairgrounds 4H Building, all convinced they are about to find the one piece that will finally make their place look pulled together. It is hectic in a good way, part flea market, part social club, and very much a real Des Moines thing. You will see everything from antique pros to DIY rookies comparing finds in the parking lot.

On the other end of the spectrum, you get festivals that are basically pure community. Boun Pi Mai, the Lao New Year celebration, turns 1804 E Park Ave into one of the most textured cultural spaces in the city, with families, elders, and younger Lao Iowans all showing up. The crowd is mixed, the food is the kind you think about weeks later, and it feels less like a “festival” and more like being invited into someone’s big extended family gathering. If you care about how Des Moines actually looks and sounds beyond the postcards, this is one to prioritize.

Then you have the low key but quietly beloved festivals that regulars guard like secrets. The Earth Day Celebration at the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden pulls in plant nerds, sustainability folks, and people who just want an excuse to wander around flowers and pretend they know Latin names. The 2026 Latino Film Festival, Festival de Cine Latino 2026, is for people who live for on screen storytelling and want to see Latino voices centered in the middle of Iowa, not pushed to the sidelines. And 2026 Poetry Palooza draws writers, zine makers, and spoken word kids who never really grew out of open mics. Put together, these are some of the best festivals in Des Moines, the ones locals actually build their calendars around.

Quick hit list of festivals in Des Moines to keep on your radar:

• Junk Jubilee at the Iowa State Fairgrounds 4H Building, for vintage and antique obsessives
• Boun Pi Mai, Lao New Year at 1804 E Park Ave, for deep community and culture
• Earth Day Celebration at the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden, for eco folks and plant lovers
• 2026 Latino Film Festival | Festival de Cine Latino 2026, for serious film fans
• 2026 Poetry Palooza, for poets, writers, and anyone who still keeps a notebook in their bag
